[0.13.13] Settings aren't saved on restart.

Post by Jeffmc »

When I start up, change the settings i've tried video memory usage, full screen, single player save frequency. All settings revert on restart.

OS Win 10 64 bit
log files for previous session, where I changed the settings, and the new log file where everything was reverted.

Thanks

Your settings are stored in the settings.ini file, I think it is in the write path of the installation so it should be C:/Users/jeffm/AppData/Roaming/Factorio/settings in your case.
It could be that something is preventing the application from changing or creating that file.

Hm, please make a screenshot of the application directory (win+R -> %appdata%\factorio).

There's your problem, the config.ini is not read/writeable for some reason and hasn't been changed for > 2 months. Factorio will also be unable to read it / write to it and can't save your settings.

Try to delete the config.ini, if that gives you an error message then post it here.
